Just picked up an AT4 this weekend and have been working through the learning process on the various "systems" on this new generation. One thing I've noticed and was wondering if anyone had experienced and if so how it might be resolved is when an iPhone is connected via bluetooth it seems the infotainment system changes the ringer volume on the iPhone. At first I though I might have turned it down but I've verified it a couple of times by starting the truck, having bluetooth connect then shut the truck off, get out and check my ringer volume. Sure enough it drops down to the last two or three bars on indicator on the iPhone. The other thing I noticed is that when you have it connected via BT and have the music app open, when you change the volume in the truck the volume indicator on the phone goes up and down. I never had this issue with my 14 or 16 All Terrains and if in-fact I'm not crazy I believe this is going to be a bit problematic for folks who experience the same and end up missing phone calls, texts and emails (at least the ones who rely on an audible indication from their phones). Anyone else seeing the same?

I noticed that also.   I have to double check but I did see somethong in the manual that this happens.

I have the same issue. It must be a bug between the iPhone IOS and the chevy system. I will try the disable you were talking about. I also noticed that when calls came in I could hardly hear them on the chevy system when bluetoothed in. I turned the volume up on the truck and still it was not enough. Then I raised the volume on my phone via those side buttons and it was super loud. Hopefully disabling those button will fix that issue too.

I noticed this too and it’s been bothering me, I just checked my phone and I already had that disabled but have been experiencing it. [emoji20] min is a Silverado but I doubt it’s much different.

I disabled the “Change with buttons” as noted and it  no longer changes the ringer.  Iphone7 if that makes a difference.

I just bought a new Chevy Blazer RS and am having the same trouble with the volume on my phone.  Two different techs worked for a couple hours to resolve the problem and there is no resolving the problem.  No matter what is turned on or off, it stills lowers my volume down to bare minimum.  The techs have never seen a problem like this and were baffled.  They said I should go into the Apple store and explain the situation to them and see if they have heard of or found a solution to this problem.  Going tomorrow to Apple. 

I have an Iphone 6S plus.  I will update once I go into the Apple store.

Mine does this with my iPhone XS. Ironically, the Ford I had before this would do the opposite. It always maxed the volume. [emoji1787][emoji1787]

Mine does the same thing. I used the same workaround thinking it was actually something with my case. Glad to know i hadn’t lost my mind.

I have a 2020 2500 and this work around is not working. I go to two ticks on the volume for my iphone Xr every time it connects to the truck. iPhone seems to be unaware of the issue. Anyone come up with any other solutions? I am continuously missing calls after driving.

We just picked up a 2020 GMC Terrain Denali 3 days ago. We have an iPhone 6s and an iPhone Xr. Both have Bluetooth volume issues when on in Terrain. Volume on car and iPhone is at max and it’s very low. Frustrating. Never had this issue 3 days ago with 2014 Buick Encore or 2016 Chevrolet Equinox. We think it’s the 2020 GMC Terrain, not the iPhones.

Also have the same issue on my 2020 AT4 HD. iPhone X volume goes down to two bars of volume, and phone calls when bluetooth connected are quiet with phone and truck volumes maxed. Then I call onstar for something else, and almost blew my ear drums

Using CarPlay is the only solution to this problem that I have found actually works. 

 

It's very annoying. 

 

Also, my system stopped allowing me to sync contacts from my iPhone about 6 weeks ago, totally at random. Can't get it to sync no matter how many times I delete / re-add the iPhone, etc. So frustrating. Worked fine for the first 4 months I owned the truck, then stopped out of the blue. Not due to a software update, either.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
